Title: 2008/58 GT 140 DSG Remap
Post by: Oli on September 04, 2011, 09:50:14 pm: Hello all

After the purchase of my C2S modifying has taken a back seat. However I purchased my wife a GT Sport DSG TDI 140. It's a great car, but a bit lacking in performance, especially after my history of cars -even my wife that complains about the lack of power. It's great car in every other way, and our 4th MKV -GTI, R32, ED30. We both love the MPG!

Anyone have experience of mapping a DSG 140? Any feedback?

I specifically wanted a smooth delivery throughout the rev range, this is something I have definitely got, I would be very interested in seeing a graph on a dyno run. The best way to describe it, is it's not in your face, infact its more like driving a CR than PD, but when you spool up in a low gear it shifts, and you reach target speed very quickly. No difference in mpg yet but I have only covered a 100 miles or so since uploading the remap.

HTH, Lee.

But, unfortunately that offer ended on Monday. :sad1:

£300. I've used Simon for loads of my cars, his re-maps are spot on, as has been proved on a rolling road. He also comes to you.

Post by: Oli on September 14, 2011, 11:06:56 pm: All done. Very pleased with results, even though I've only done a couple of miles in it - a lot smoother, picks up better when pulling away, and pulls hard all the way. I'll give a full write up after the weekend. :happy2:
